Dr. Mitch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doulas are a great resource for both mother and father. However, a doula\u2019s main objective is to make sure the birth plan is congruent with how the mother wants to give birth. When the time comes, a doula ensures the birth plan is implemented and modified appropriately as labor progresses.\u00a0 As a father of two children who was present at both births, I realize the absolute benefit of hiring and utilizing a Doula.<\/p>\n

We met our Doula when she was assisting our midwife during our first child\u2019s birth at Willow midwives.\u00a0 After having our daughter without a Doula, we realized it was well worth the investment to hire our Doula- Liz, for our second child\u2019s birth.\u00a0 My wife had a strong connection with Liz and immediately knew she would be a great asset before, during, and after the birth of our son.<\/p>\n

A major component of the Doula-experience was preparing for the day of the birth.\u00a0 Compared to my wife\u2019s first birth without a Doula, her second birth was much more efficient because we had a birth plan set and ready for \u201cgame day\u201d. And we had a coach to make sure we were on task!\u00a0 We were able to communicate with our doula on the weeks, days, hours, and minutes before we needed to make our way to the birthing center.\u00a0 Liz was AWESOME–She was with us for every moment of the labor, she met us at home and followed us to the birth center.<\/p>\n

As an \u201cactive participant\/spectator\u201d to the labor I was able to be present during the birth process.\u00a0 I was able to appreciate the miracle of birth and assist when necessary.\u00a0 Our doula made it clear when I was able to step in and be a part of the process.\u00a0 I was able to be at my wife\u2019s side without worrying about anything other than focusing on my wife and seeing my son enter this world.<\/p>\n

Giving birth is one component of a much larger task.\u00a0 Our doula guided our first moments with our son\u2014she assisted with nursing and guided us on what to expect after we were home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
